Keyboarding

   

 Keyboarding will be the first 15-20 minutes of each class period. This will be the warm up & you will be earning participation points for typing with correct technique.

     Each class period Edutype will be used to complete a lesson of 5 screens or more.  If the 5 screens are not completed in class, it will be required for the student to finish at home. Lessons will be checked online & due dates will be given for lessons to be completed.  If a student is absent, it is their responsibility to make up the missed lesson by completing it at home or coming before/lunchtime/after school to finish the lesson.

  • Students will be practicing their keyboarding skills with a program of customized drills, exercises, and timings to reinforce touch operation of the keyboard and to increase speed and accuracy.

  • By the end of the first term: Key by touch for a recommended speed of 25 WPM at 90% accuracy.

  • By the end of the semester: Key by touch for a recommended speed of 35 WPM at 90% accuracy.
